Default Re: Lower & Upper roller control arm bushings

I have just put allstar lower roller bushings,bushing goes in a-arm then rollers are inside of it,then there 2 inner bushing/race that goes inside of bearings and has thrust/needle bearing in each end bushing that goes inside of rollers appears to be hardened.
I couldn't come with up roller uppers,so I made some,took steel uppers from allstar drilled them and reamed to 13/16 (.812) for roller bearing and ground cross shafts in crank grinder from 11/16 down to 5/8 to fit ID of bearings,and cut a recessed place on each end for thrust bearings.
I think if it wore it would take a long time,they move very little compared to what the bearings are designed to do,they are made for shaft to rotate in,take a alternator as example the shaft spins thousands of rpm for 1000's of miles.
I am more concerned of busting needles or flat spotting shaft with hard landing.
I had the solid allstars before .
